Samuel Ross, Virgil Abloh's former protégé, founded A-Cold-Wall in 2015. A graduate of graphic design at the De Montfort University in Leicester, grew up in Brixton's working-class neighborhood – and his inspirations come from the British class system. Besides that, Ross' streetwear label is infested with subcultural influences and Savile Row tailoring techniques. LVMH Prize finaLAUREN offers energetic solutions like architectural silhouettes, patchwork blazers and knitwear, hand-dyed denim, rubberized-nylon windbreakers and construction worker vests.
